[1500 TH] p2pool: Decentralized, DoS-resistant, Hop-Proof pool

[freshzive]

Hi.

I got 2 payouts from p2pool in the Last 24 h.
In the Staats Page are 0 Blocks found in the Last 24 hours.
This Happens a few in the Last days

Is this a Bug?

Code:

Blocks found in last day:

Note that blocks may have been orphaned from the P2Pool chain and so not be here.

See http://p2pool.info/ for real block found count

But these aren't orphaned, they are real blocks that have paid out. I've noticed this too, mine is currently showing 0 even though it should show 1. The other day when we had 4 or 5 in the past 24 hours, it only showed 2 or 3. Seems like a bug.

Just because they aren't orphaned from the bitcoin blockchain doesn't mean they aren't orphaned from the p2pool sharechain. I can happen that a share is orphaned from the sharechain but still a valid block and therefore sent out to bitcoind.

Better a slightly incorrect statistic than losing money to keep the statistics nice and neat, right?

is there a way to make bitcoin p2pool serve out variable diff shares in the same way as litecoin p2pool does?

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/P2Pool

Appending "/1000" to a miner's username will increase the difficulty of producing a P2Pool share to at most 1000. This is useful to large miners because doing this can make it easier for small miners while minimally impacting the large miners themselves. See recommended values.
Appending "+1" (for example) after that will make P2Pool always give your miners work with a difficulty of 1

Sorry, I didn't realize there was a difference. Your point is valid. Still, why are such a high percentage of solved blocks being orphaned from the p2p share chain? The one we just solved appears to have been orphaned as well.

It doesn't matter!
P2pool sharechain is just like bitcoin chain. There always will be some orphaned blocks.
P2pool is written in way that ANY block solution (orphaned form p2pool chain or not) are passed to bitcoin.
It is just make our page stats bit confusing, we need check at p2pool.info

maybe the section "blocks found in the last day" should be removed entirely from the /static/ page then as it is just misleading and confusing to most of us.

ok i will quit whining now lol

forrestv: simply add link to p2pool.info page at our local pages it this place.
This will fix this issue

I not a big fan of the design of p2pool.info I dunno if its (HTML5?) for the graph & blockchain info but it always seems really laggy when loading.

It always causes my browser to freeze on loading, every tab.  (latest version of firefox..)

Is there a way to tell who the user is that finds a block? Additionally is there a way to see a history on any blocks you have found? Noob to p2pool so any help pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated.

I think searching /data/bitcoin/log for "BLOCK FOUND BY MINER" will tell you.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=62842.0 from this merged mining guide

grep BLOCK ~/p2pool/data/bitcoin/log

grep GOT\ SHARE ~/p2pool/data/bitcoin/log

if your running windows, then search the log for "BLOCK" OR "GOT SHARE"

Just wanna post some information I learned today about p2pool Litecoin & Vircurex

If you do this

p2pool -----> Vircurex  Your litecoins can get screwed up and not show up in your account

You need to do this

p2pool ------> litecoin client -------> vircurex


Mining to a Vircurex address with litecoins is not supported with the way vircurex is setup.

Found this out when i noticed my litecoins had not been coming in correctly and had to email vircurex support.

Thanks Vircurex for your support

Wow, I never thought about mining directly to something else than my wallet...

I was mining directly to MtGox for a while. Tested it with a small payout first and it worked. Didn't with Vircurex.

Dunno if it does with other exchanges.

There is no real difference between transferring through a client or transferring directly generated coins. They all land on the address you chose. I guess it is a glitch on Vircurex' side. What exactly did they answer?

... I'd imagine that if they have a different address per deposit, like some sites do, then yes you couldn't deposit directly into Vircurex ...

Nope, only a different address per currency. That address then is static.

How about satoshi dice?
(but where would it send it back to )
